Brian Frazer Stanley

February 5, 1979 to May 1, 2017

Obituary

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved son and brother, Brian Stanley, known to most as Stew, aged 38. Leaving to mourn his loving parents John and Cathy (nee Daley); sister and brother-in-law Jennifer and Colin Howlett; treasured nephew and niece Colby and Katie; members of the Daley family Barbara, Gloria, Laurie (Adrien), and Larry; members of the Stanley family Joseph (Lorraine), Frazer (Patricia), Ruby, Ivy (deceased, Jim), and Clinton (Marie); and a large circle of great aunts and uncles, cousins, extended family, and friends. Brian was so very fortunate to have so many friends in Newfoundland and Edmonton. You will always be in our hearts. His passion for life and his generosity to all is what made him so STEWpendous. Resting at Carnell’s Funeral Home, 329 Freshwater Road. The family will receive visitors on Saturday, May 6th, 2017 from 2 – 9 p.m, and Sunday, May 7th, 2017 from 2 – 9 p.m. A funeral service will be held at St. Paul’s Church, Goulds on Monday, May 8th, 2017 at 2 p.m. Flower’s graciously accepted, or donations in Brian’s memory may be made to St. Paul’s Church.

My heart breaks for all of Brian’s family and friends. I just found out about his passing. I worked with Brian at shell scotford. He was an amazing man, super funny, loving and caring. He made my work day so much better. I will miss him deeply. Lots of love for all of you in your time of Greig!

I am so sorry and absolutely heart broken…I have been waiting for Stew’s phone call or text for the past 2 weeks. The last time we spoke I was going to drive to Edmonton to pick him up if his jeep wasn’t fixed so he would make it back in time for his shift in Dawson Creek. Our last phone call was him joking around about the purple rain CD that he left in my car, pretending he was calling about a kijiji ad, asking me to hold the CD for him so he could check it out for scratches. We didn’t have a lot of time together but in the time that we did get to spend, we had more fun than most people could hope to have. He talked all the time about a trip back to Newfoundland to show me where he grew up and all the adventures we were going to go on.. I just can’t believe he’s gone…we didn’t get enough time 😢 I will forever cherish the pictures, texts, videos and memories. He was truly STEWpendous and I will miss him immensely, heaven has gained an amazing soul and he will forever hold a dear place in my heart ❤

Brian brightened our every day with huge personality and fun-loving sense of humour. But there’s something else I remember about Brian. I remember on many occasions in high school when he saw someone left out or alone, no matter how supposedly ‘uncool’ or ‘unpopular’ they were, he would go over, put his arm around them, say something like ‘Hey bud, I like your shirt, you’re pretty cool you know.’

He accepted everyone and judged no one. And somehow, he made everyone feel special. He was a shining light, and even though we lost him so young, I believe Stew achieved his life goal – and more than most of us ever will: he touched the life of every person he met, he left his mark in fine style, and he made it absolutely IMPOSSIBLE to ever be forgotten!

Johnny, Cathy and Jennifer, his greatness was because of you. You should be incredibly proud.

Stew,
I don’t believe your gone. I just talked to you. I can’t believe this happened. You are my best friend. I consider you my brother. I don’t know what I’m supposed to do without you. I don’t know who I’m supposed to talk to now. Your friendship meant everything to me. You and I went through a very dark place and .. stew I love you my friend.

My most sincere condolences to your family. He was and forever will be a great man.

Thank you for your friendship. I won’t forget you.

Brian was such a funny, happy kid. He always had a smile on his face He was a good friend to Robbie, and when we lived on Donovan’s Road, he was like an extra one of the family.. He was a pleasure to have around. He even looked after our dog, when we had to go to Bonavista for a family emergency. We have fond memories of him, and are so sorry you are going through every parent’s worse nightmare. We are out of the province and won’t get to wake or funeral, but I am sure Robbie will be a fine representative for our family.

Always finding humor in the littlest and strangest things; from Nachoes to Dinosaurs he had the gift to make you laugh. Truly a unique soul. I know he will rap on in the big “GypsyLife” in the sky. You will always be Stewpendous to me and i will think about you when im ondawgo. Love you my friend.

I genuinely regret your loss. I hope that in due time your family receives God’s peace that excels all thought, so that it will guard your hearts and your mental powers by means of Christ Jesus. God is called the Father of tender mercies and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our tribulation. Rest assured that God cares for all his creatures and he would never bring us suffering. A soothing scripture I like is Psalm 34:18 which reads: “Jehovah is near to those that are broken at heart, and those who are crushed in spirit he saves.” He promised that in the Paradise, we will have the prospect of enjoying life without end, free from all problems, accidents, and sickness. Even our dead loved ones like Brian will be resurrected. (Psalm 37:9, 29; John 5:28, 29) With all my sympathy for the loss of someone so dear.

I started Kindergarten with Brian at Goulds Elementary. I was heart broken after hearing of his death. Going through school with Brian, I learned the power of a laugh. It will be said many times that “Brian was a great guy who made people laugh”. For every person who says that, there will be a story. A story that will be shared when his family and friends connect and remember a person who could spark a collective laugh from coast to coast. He helped us recall of our childhood and recognize how incredibly lucky we all were to have been apart of his. Brian’s character, of charm and whit, made an imprint on my life and many many others. I extend my deepest sympathies to his family and friends as they remember him. To have been loved by so many and remembered with such joy, is the greatest achievement anyone could have. Cheers to you Brian, thank you for being one awesome Goulds Gopher.

Deepest sympathies on your loss. As I get older, my memory has gotten way worse. With that said, I can still remember vividly Stew and I in the middle of the dance floor of a crowded night club in Dominican Republic. Stew teaching me the craziest of dance moves. We were all there celebrating Colin and Jennfier’s wedding. Such great memories. Such a great guy….

So sorry.

Stew, you were so kind to me from the day we met, the day Trevor was moving with Mook & Kirsty. You always had something funny to say, a smart ass remark, anything to make everyone laugh. You were so excited when you found out Trevor & I were expecting, and talked about being “Uncle Stew”, you leave a void no one could ever fill, no one could ever compete with you infectious laugh, and your raps. They were something else! You didn’t even have to be from Newfoundland, and you still understood everything you said, and how much HOME meant to you. I’m so grateful to have been a part of your life, cut way to short. Trevor & I will miss you dearly, thanks for being a friend. RIP buddy.

I’m so deeply sorry to learn about Brian’s passing and I struggle to find the right words to express my condolences to his close friends and family. I met Brian in grade four and went to school with him right up until high school. He was kind-hearted, funny and a friend to everyone. I haven’t spoken to him much since high school graduation, yet when I heard of his passing my heart simply ached. This type of sadness felt after 20 years illuminates exactly the type of person he was- the kind of guy who leaves a lasting impression over space and time, who made your day brighter, made you laugh until your sides hurt and someone who will never be forgotten. I can’t imagine the pain that those closest to him are experiencing. I hope remembering Brian’s simple but most important contributions in this life- laugher and kindness-will help ease the pain.

Aunt Cathy and Uncle John, Jenn and Colin and family.
I am so sorry to hear of Brians passing. I am still in shock and cant believe that he was taken from us way to soon. Bryan was more than a first cousin to me, I always looked up to him as being my brother I never had. He was a gentle soul with a huge heart and a humor like no one I have ever meet before. Brian would light up the room and make anyone smile and LOL. I am going to miss you cuz although I never seen you as much as I would of liked to over the years. I always felt that when we did see each other we would always pick up where we left off. You will always hold a special place in my heart . Say hi to Nanny and Poppy from me, until we meet again cuz aka “STEWIE” xoxoxo

I love you Stew. My big brother from another mother. Your love for your family and those around you far and near is second to none. You had a one liner for everything and always made everyone laugh even in the most inappropriate times. Our times together we’re like no other friendship I’ve had. We shared laughs and tears together. I’d buy a new RDS shirt and the next day you’d have two and try to say sluggo sent them to you directly. Every time we’d make a challenge out of something, if I won, you’d always have a hilarious excuse. You knew I was a huge hockey fan and the stories of you being the fastest on the ice cannot be forgotten. If I didn’t believe you you’d be dailing up Cathy and John to prove me wrong. Again, thanks for everything you’ve done for and with me. I’ll remember it forever. You never stopped calling me Eddy Raymond since that day up north when I wore an Eddy Bauer shirt with ripped off sleeves in -40.

I had the pleasure to work with Stew on the Hibernia Platform. Stew was always the person to brighten your day with a quick joke, song, rap, poem or smile. He was an amazing friend and co-worker. He was so much fun

Cathy, John, and Jennifer, I am so sorry for the tragic loss of Brian, a great friend over the years for so many of us. I was very excited and happy when after the evacuation in Fort McMurray one of the first people I spoke with upon arrival back to the city was Stew. I was really looking forward to reconnecting and hanging out with a great old friend. Busy schedules and the like kept us from getting together as often as we would like but we spoke quite frequently, the love he had for his mom was second to none and they way he spoke of Jennifer and Colin’s children and how much he cherished that relationship was only a glimpse of how big his heart was. Brian will always be remembered as one of the greatest guys I had the privilege to call a close friend. The good times and all the trouble we caused as young men will always be kept very close to my heart. Brian always proudly wore his heart on his sleeve and was one of the more empathetic people I ever met. Stinnard you will be sorely missed by all of us who love you, rest easy brother. From my family to yours, we are all sending our love.

Brian used to hang around with my brother Robby, such goofs together throughout high school. I loved his raps on Facebook! His passion for his family, his mom, for the Goulds, and for his friends. I’m so sad to hear of his passing, may he rest peacefully. Take care.

Oh Stewie…too soon for you to go. I can still hear your laugh….You had such a kind, and generous personality. Always so curious about how everyone was doing while beating to your own drum. You lit up the room when you arrived and that can be attested to so many friends. Seems like yesterday you, Jenn, me, Dionne, & Wayne, were sitting at the kiddies table in your mother’s kitchen eating Xmas dinner. Love you and miss you always.
